Built in 1928, the Chief Theater has been a mainstay of the Coldwater business district for generations. Having survived the advent of television and video tape, the Chief radiates a nostalgic charm from the days of silent movies, newsreels and nickelodeons. In its prime the Chief featured
movies every night of the week, weekend matinees and was frequently filled to its seating capacity of 300 people.
In the late 1940's the theater was decorated in a Native American theme with colorful murals in the lobby and auditorium which have been preserved to this day. Currently operated and restored by the Chamber of Commerce, the Chief features current release movies every weekend projected by a new state of the art projection system.
